A Novel Approach to Reliability Analysis Using Petri Nets and Ladder Logic Diagrams
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper the dynamic modeling of repairable and standby components of complex systems is analyzed using Petri Nets and ladder logic diagrams. The use of Petri Nets as modelling of a complex system avoids two basic disadvantages of Markov chain analysis. First, the Petri Net model does not grow in size as increasing the number of components and second, Markov chain has been limited to the exponential probability distribution. PetriLLD software is used for building Petri Net models and then the Petri Net models are converted to ladder logic diagrams for reliability analysis. Keywords— Reliability, Petri Nets, Ladder Logic

A rule-based evaluation of ladder logic diagram and timed petri nets for programmable logic controllers
This paper describes an evaluation through a case study by measuring a rule-based approach, which proposed for ladder logic diagrams and Petri nets. In the beginning, programmable logic controllers were widely designed by ladder logic diagrams. When complexity and functionality of manufacturing systems increases, developing their software is becoming more difficult. Thus, Petri nets as a high l...
متن کاملA Fuzzy Approach to Sequential Failure Analysis Using Petri nets
In highly competitive industrial market, the concept of failure analysis is an unavoidable fact in complex industrial systems. Reliability of such systems not only depends on the reliability of each element of these systems, but also depends on occurrence of sequence of failures. In this paper, a novel approach to sequential failure analysis is proposed which is based upon fuzzy logic and the c...

متن کاملComparing ladder logic diagrams and Petri nets for sequence controller design through a discrete manufacturing system
AbstructDesign methods for sequence controllers play a very important role in advancing industrial automation. The increasing complexity and varying needs of modern discrete manufacturing systems have challenged the traditional design methods such as the use of ladder logic diagrams (LLD’s) for programmable logic controllers. The methodologies based on research results in computer science have ...
متن کاملUsing Interval Petri Nets and Timed Automata for Diagnosis of Discrete Event Systems (DES)
A discrete event system (DES) is a dynamic system that evolves in accordance with the abrupt occurrence, at possibly unknown irregular intervals, of physical events. Because of the special nature of these systems, different tools are currently used for their analysis, design and modeling. The main focus of this paper is the presentation of a new modeling approach of Discrete Event Systems. The ...
